With an infinite marketplace, every product must compete for resources and attention. Most projects turn into a resource management issue; how much do you have and how what do you use it on? One of the most successful ways to get the resources you need is to secure your own financing. This tutorial examines popular alternatives and gives free culture case-studies to identify best practices. Read more.

We will discuss these tools and experiences using them. Read more.

This talk is a demo-fueled, fast-paced introduction to HTML5 Canvas. Read more.

I run the public running behaviour change site RunOrElse.com. The idea is simple. You set a distance goal each week. You track that goal with RunKeeper. If you meet your goal, nothing happens and you keep your money. If you fail your goal, we automatically charge your Paypal account, sending money to charity. During this talk we will release and demo Open Source code that does the same thing! Read more.

You package your assets. You use CSS sprites. You serve up everything with gzip compression. You obsess over Yslow recommendations. But you are still not SPDY. Fundamental limitations in HTTP and TCP/IP still add up to 60% overhead to your site. Find out how to reclaim that lost bandwidth and increase the robustness of your sites at the same time. Read more.

Why don't more companies practice code review? We all know how beneficial it is, and we've all seen it's successes in open source. What's so hard about bringing it over to the world of commercial software development? Nothing! This is a success story about adopting code review from the open source community and applying it to commercial development. It worked for us. It can work for you too. Read more.

In this session, we’ll talk about strategies for nurturing, empowering and rewarding community leaders to help scale your open source community. Read more.

Whether you're consumer or provider, getting the API right is a puzzle. This session gives the best practices for making this relationship easier all round, with clear PHP-based examples and a few war stories to go with them. Read more.

We are bringing a previously unrepresented field, neuroscience, to K12 education with an unheard of method: we are open-sourcing everything. You'll learn how building upon open source technologies and using open licensing on our creations lets us do what no one else has -- bring neuroscience to primary education classrooms around the world! Read more.

Learn how to think like a Git using nothing more than children's toys! If you’re using git, but are uncomfortable with it and don’t really get it, this is for you. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small Parts. Not For Children Under 4 Years. Read more.

For more than a decade, people have imagined a future where the sequencing of a person's DNA would be as routine a medical practice as a visit to the doctor. We now stand on the cusp of this future, but the volume and complexity of the data exceed our ability to interpret it. Within this challenge lies a major opportunity for software to make a difference in the future of medicine. Read more.

Web developers dream of continuous deployment: new code in production without a hitch. In this talk I'll cover the full story from building deployable code through working out a build and release process through continuous integration, automation, and continuous deployment. We'll also look at deployment velocity and why CD might not be for you. Read more.

We often hear engineers lament how hard it is to get anything done inside of a big company. The trick to overcoming this is to know the right people, understand how power flows in the organization, and, most importantly, what you can get away with and when. We'll help you understand the human element of navigating companies both big and small through a series of (hopefully) amusing anecdotes. Read more.

What was learnt during Bootstraps rapid rise to the number one position on github? What went wrong? What went right? How were we lucky? What's coming next? CSS. Markup. JS. Co-authoring. Community. Press. A new toolkit. A new language. Read more.

There are millions of software users with disabilities worldwide, yet many web application developers aren't aware of the techniques which can be used to make their software accessible. This talk will give an overview of what accessibility means and why it's important to you, a run-down of the technology and techniques for achieving it, and a look at how browsers provide accessibility support. Read more.

Nowadays many modern web applications are solely relying on JavaScript to render their frontend. But if you want to create mashups, load data from many different places or include external widgets into your site, you are quickly running into boundaries because of browser and security restrictions. In this presentation I will talk about techniques helping you with such problems. Read more.

The Department of Veterans Affairs spawned in July 2011 the creation of OSEHRA, a non-profit organization whose mission is to apply best practices of open source software development to the improvement and maintenance of Open Source EHR information systems that are freely available for all. Please join us in this session to hear about the current activities and future plans of OSEHRA. Read more.

This session demonstrates how to troubleshoot the common problems that lead to hung and slow Java applications by going through case studies derived from actual problems we have seen on our production systems. Each case study is accompanied by a live demo of the tool best suited for troubleshooting that particular problem. Read more.

We will cover the migration from Flash players to HTML5 and tools to support that transition. We will look at challenges of creating a consistent user experience with HTML5 video across devices. We will share insight from our html5video.org survey of industry leading open source players including benchmarks on performance and supported plugins. Read more.

Excellent statistical graphics first and foremost *show the data*. Likewise, the tools for making such graphics should emphasize essential data-visual mappings and hide implementation details. We describe a D3-like language for visualizing data on the web using declarative, constraint-based layout, implemented in ClojureScript. Read more.

In this session, two case studies will be presented on leveraging Big Data and an open source Big Data processing platform to detect relationships at levels not previously detected. This session will give a behind-the-scenes look at how to program rapid data delivery queries with Big Data to solve real world problems along with anecdotal examples from the field. Read more.

Dozens of toolkits offer a range of widgets to build rich web applications, but the included widget set is rarely enough. This presentation shows how a new component can be designed and implemented from scratch. Topics covered include considerations for choosing DOM structure, finding a balance between performance and features, implementation considerations and testing the component. Read more.

This session will teach you how to pull together jQuery, LESS, Twitter Bootstrap, Java, and Play Framework to build the Client/Server web app. You will also learn how to deploy Client/Server web apps on the cloud using a Content Delivery Network (Amazon CloudFront) for the Client and a Cloud Application Provider (Heroku) for the Server. Read more.

Grow, Grow, Grow! People are the life-blood of Open Source Communities. Mozilla has always recognised this in regards to their own success, and are now undertaking a project to expand the community even further with the Mozilla Reps program. This talk will discuss the successes and challenges we have had, and our plans for continued momentum. Read more.

These days it is not uncommon to have 100s of gigabytes of data that needs to be sliced and diced then delivered fast and rendered quickly. This talk seeks to cover some strategies for caching large data sets without tons of expensive hardware, but through software and data design. Read more.
